is it really to replace F11? or they'll sell both concurrently? great cam btw... i don't why others too slow to develop sensitive sensors like on this cam. sony is coming up but the latest model still far from matching fuji in noise dept

i'd say that fuji's iso800 is even better than iso200 on some cams

for example you can go to dpreview's review of F10 & compare it to it's review on lumix FX9. noise on the pana is more to my eyes anyway but maybe fuji's one is a bit softer. furthermore F11 is supposed to be slightly better than F10 & F30 is even more better in terms of noise so go figure...

xander, i'm not assuming, i'm simply saying what fuji's been promoting le. for the sake of consumers i hope they're right

i checked at BB plaza RM1350 with 1GB. I thought can get cheaper elsewhere. RN1299 with 512MB same price

anyone else see this cam anywhere? i really wanna buy this cam for raya holiday

ok i couldn't wait, so i grap one at shangrila time sgr today
happily playing with it now

this is what i think (on F30, same sensor as S6500)

ISO3200 - very high noise, not very usable (may be just for fun like VGA size photo)
ISO1600 - noisy, but still usable
ISO800 - not so much noise & very usable
ISO400 & below - no noise (relatively speaking)

single shot to shot is 2 sec. if you want fast use continous top3 mode which is 2 frames/sec

anybody find a silicon case for F30 here? something like this :

hope can buy here

well if i have no choice then i don't mind. but i still prefer to check, feel, try at a shop before buy
